The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-426b3a500d advisory.

as a base; and destroying the editor instance. This vulnerability might affect a small percentage of integrators that depend on dynamic editor initialization/destroy mechanism. A fix is available in CKEditor4 version 4.21.0. In some rare cases, a security fix may be considered a breaking change. Starting from version 4.21.0, the Iframe Dialog plugin applies the sandbox
attribute by default, which restricts JavaScript code execution in the iframe element. To change this behavior, configure the config.iframe_attributes
option. Also starting from version 4.21.0, the Media Embed plugin regenerates the entire content of the embed widget by default. To change this behavior, configure the config.embed_keepOriginalContent
option. Those who choose to enable either of the more permissive options or who cannot upgrade to a patched version should properly configure Content Security Policy to avoid any potential security issues that may arise from embedding iframe elements on their web page.Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- CKEditor4 is an open source what-you-see-is-what-you-get HTML editor. A cross-site scripting vulnerability
has been discovered affecting Iframe Dialog and Media Embed packages. The vulnerability may trigger a
JavaScript code after fulfilling special conditions: using one of the affected packages on a web page with
missing proper Content Security Policy configuration; initializing the editor on an element and using an
element other than `<textarea>` as a base; and destroying the editor instance. This vulnerability might
affect a small percentage of integrators that depend on dynamic editor initialization/destroy mechanism. A
fix is available in CKEditor4 version 4.21.0. In some rare cases, a security fix may be considered a
breaking change. Starting from version 4.21.0, the Iframe Dialog plugin applies the `sandbox` attribute by
default, which restricts JavaScript code execution in the iframe element. To change this behavior,
configure the `config.iframe_attributes` option. Also starting from version 4.21.0, the Media Embed plugin
regenerates the entire content of the embed widget by default. To change this behavior, configure the
`config.embed_keepOriginalContent` option. Those who choose to enable either of the more permissive
options or who cannot upgrade to a patched version should properly configure Content Security Policy to
avoid any potential security issues that may arise from embedding iframe elements on their web page.
